Hi @Wanderer

Look at the very top of this browser window. See what it says at the 4th line down under "Puppy Linux Discussion Forum"? Click it, in the middle.

hello everyone

this has reduced the size of the iso
it is now 100 m

this is straight out of the woof2 machine
so it has the old logo on it
we will have to change that

i will name this iso ce1.iso
for community edition 1
and upload it to smokey01's site

and post your thoughts

the only problem
is i don't know

You will have to pm smokey01 and he will give you the information that you need to upload it to his server. You should see if you have any pms in your inbox, I am sure that smokey01 sent you something about this.

Cheers

And what about a name? DpupCE ?

Thanks

Is the devx going to be uploaded?

EDIT:
I burned the iso to a dvd but it wouldn't boot on two computers, kernel panic, failed to sync etc.

"ce1.iso" I think you're still leaving too much information in that name. Why not just eliminate all numbers and call it 'ce.iso", or maybe even better, just name it "thing" and then nobody will be able to make anything of it.

Most software and distributions use a numbering scheme which indicates things about that version which go beyond simply indicating which is the 'latest' version. When you see a version '2.0' you can usually be sure that there was a version '1.0' before it, and that a version '3.0' would come after it. But, what does a version like '2.1' mean? It means that it follows '1.0' but is not a major revision.

Many projects even use a scheme like ??.??.?? where the first number is called the 'major' version number, the second is the 'minor' version and the third id the 'micro' version number. For distros, the major version number is usually only incremented when the new version has a newer toolchain or newewr versions of major core libraries -like glibc, libX11, gtk+2, etc. Minor version numbers are usually used to indicate the inclusion of bugfixes and/or security updates. So, if you have a version '1.0' and a bug or security hole is found, you fix those things and then release them in a version called '1.1'. This tells the user that the underlying system is the same as '1.0' bit includes some fixes or *security-related* version upgrades.

One can, hopefully, assume that there would be no 'regressions' from using the upgraded distro version. A 'regression' means that something that worked before now does not work.

When one names a thing, it is hoped that the name will indicate something about the thing -the more that name indicates the better.

From Wikipedia:

"In principle, in subsequent releases, the major number is increased when there are significant jumps in functionality, the minor number is incremented when only minor features or significant fixes have been added, and the revision number is incremented when minor bugs are fixed."

Geoffrey and I have adopted this format, Carolina-1.0 is an official release, 1.1 is updates, 1.1.1 would be bug fixes. I suppose beta would be 0.1 or 1b, we used rc for release candidate.

thanks
your last posts cheered me up
i'm a super minimalist
so i usually use just a letter and a number
for everything
but this is a group effort
so whatever the group decides is ok with me

my problem is i can't get the iso
uploaded and downloaded again
without it failing to boot
i dont know what is going on
so i'll just have to keep trying different things
until it works
it must get corrupted in the transfer
because the iso that i have works ok
